Consider the following three statements related to the human male reproductive system and select the correct option stating which ones are true (T) and which ones are false (F).


(i) The middle piece of spermatozoon is also termed as the powerhouse of the spermatozoon.
(ii) Vas deferens joins a duct from the seminal vesicle and forms vasa efferentia.
(iii) Semen is a collection of secretions from the seminal vesicles, prostate gland and Cowper's glands and sperms from testes.

  1. (i) - T, (ii) - F, (iii) - T

  2. (i) - F, (ii) - F, (iii) - T

  3. (i) - T, (ii) - T, (iii) - F

  4. (i) - F, (ii) - T, (iii) - T


Correct Option: A

Fill up the blanks in the following paragraph by selecting the correct option.
(i) are the primary female sex organs that produce (ii) and (iii). Each primary sex organ is about (iv) in length and is connected to the pelvic wall and uterus by (v).

  1. (i)-Testes, (ii)-sperms, (iii)-hormones, (iv)-4-5 cm, (v)-ligaments

  2. (i)-Ovaries, (ii)-oogonia, (iii)-follicles, (iv)-2-4 cm, (v)-muscles

  3. (i)-Ovaries, (ii)-ovum, (iii)-hormones, (iv)-2-4 cm, (v)-ligaments

  4. (i)-Testes, (ii)-sperms, (iii)-testosterone, (iv)-8-9 cm, (v)-muscles


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Ovaries are the primary female sex organs that produce the female gamete/germ cell ovum and several steroid hormones such as estrogen and progesterone also called ovarian hormones. Each ovary is about 2-4 cm in length and is connected by ligaments to the pelvic wall and the uterus.  Each ovary is whitish in colour and located alongside the lateral wall of the uterus and the other side points downwards attached to the uterus via the ovarian ligament.

So, the correct option is '(i)-Ovaries, (ii)-ovum, (iii)-hormones, (iv)-2-4 cm, (v)-ligaments'.

Spot the odd one out from the following structures with reference to the male reproductive system.

  1. Rete testis

  2. Epididymis

  3. Vasa efferentia

  4. Isthmus


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Females have two oviducts (or Fallopian tubes). Each oviduct has three regions, infundibulum, ampulla and isthmus. Isthmus is the narrow part closest to uterus, while infundibulum is the first part of oviduct that is encountered by released ova.

Given below are the three statements each with two blanks. Select the option which correctly fills up the blank in any two statements. (A) Each seminiferous tubule is lined on Its inside by two types of cells called (i) and (ii) .
(B) The seminiferous tubules open into the  (i)  through  (ii).
(C) The enlarged end of penis called the   (i)   is covered by a loose fold of skin called the   (ii)  

  1. (A)-(i)spermatogonia, (ii) follicular cells

    (B)-(i) vas deferens, (ii) urethral meatus

  2. (B)-(i) vasa efferentia, (ii) rete testis

    (C)-(i) glans penis, (ii) foreskin

  3. (A)-(i) spermatogonia, (ii) Sertoli cells

    (C)-(i) urethral meatus, (ii) scrotum

  4. (A)-(i) spermatocytes, (ii) oogonia

    (B)-(i) rete testis, (ii) vasa efferentia


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The seminiferous tubule is present in the testicular lobule and is highly coiled and produces sperms. The seminiferous tubule opens into the vasa efferentia (small ducts) through the rete testis (a network of interconnecting tubules where the straight seminiferous tubules empty). The enlarged part of the penis or the male genitalia is called the glans penis or head of the penis (sensitive bulbous structure at the distal end of the human penis) and is covered by a foreskin (prepuce) a double-layered fold of smooth muscle tissue, blood vessels etc, to protect the glans penis and urinary meatus. 

So, the correct option  is, (B)-(i) vasa efferentia, (ii) rete testis (C)-(i) glans penis, (ii) foreskin.

Overall masculine development, Gynaecomastia is expressed when fertilization occurs between 

  1. Sperm (22A+X) $\times $ Egg(22A+XX)

  2. Sperm (23A+Y) $\times $ Egg(22A+X)

  3. Sperm (22A+XY) $\times $ Egg(22A+X)

  4. Sperm (22A+X) $\times $ Egg(22A+0)


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
Klinefelter syndrome is not inherited; the addition of an extra X chromosome occurs during the formation of reproductive cells (eggs or sperm) in one of an affected person's parents. During cell division, an error called nondisjunction prevents X chromosomes from being distributed normally among reproductive cells as they form. Typically, as cells divide, each egg cell gets a single X chromosome, and each sperm cell gets either an X chromosome or a Y chromosome. However, because of nondisjunction, an egg cell or a sperm cell can also end up with an extra copy of the X chromosome.

If an egg cell with an extra X chromosome (XX) is fertilized by a sperm cell with one Y chromosome, the resulting child will have Klinefelter syndrome. Similarly, if a sperm cell with both an X chromosome and a Y chromosome (XY) fertilizes an egg cell with a single X chromosome, the resulting child will have Klinefelter syndrome.

Mosaic Klinefelter syndrome (46,XY/47,XXY) is also not inherited. It occurs as a random error during cell division early in fetal development. As a result, some of the body's cells have the usual one X chromosome and one Y chromosome (46,XY), and other cells have an extra copy of the X chromosome (47,XXY).

So the correct option is ' Sperm (22A+XY) × Egg(22A+X)'.

Reproduction in man is only-

  1. Asexual

  2. Sexual

  3. Vegetative

  4. Parthenogenetic


Correct Option: B

How does the sperm break through the egg cell membrane? Choose the option you think is right.

  1. Tears a hole in the membrane

  2. Dissolves the membrane with chemicals

  3. Bites through the membrane with teeth

  4. Squeezes through gaps in the membrane


Correct Option: A

During the development of embryo which of the following occur first 

  1. Differentiation of tissue

  2. Differentiation of cells

  3. Differentiation of organs

  4. Differentiation of organ system


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Blastula differentiate into various regions and cells (blastomeres) of a particular region form a particular part of adult body, hence these areas are called presumptive areas and at this stage if cells of a particular area removed the adult lacks a particular part from its body.

Which distinguishes a morula from a blastula 

  1. Presence of more yolk

  2. Absence of yolk

  3. Presence of a cavity

  4. Absence of a cavity


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

In microlecithal eggs or alecithal eggs, the cleavage results in the production of closely packed blastomeres. The stage in which solid mass of blastomeres appears is said to be morula, whereas blastula is hollow with a cavity known as blastocoel.

The events in sexual reproduction are
(i) pre-fertilisation
(ii) fertilisation
(iii) post-fertilisation
The sequential order of their occurence is

  1. (ii) - (i) - (i)

  2. (ii) - (ii) - (i)

  3. (i) - (ii) - (iii)

  4. (i) - (iii) - (iv)


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

In spite of their morphological, anatomical and physiological differences, the fundamental events in sexual reproduction are the same. These events can be categorized as follows:

1. Pre-fertilization events: All the preparatory events which occur before the fusion of gametes are called pre-fertilization events. These include Gametogenesis and gamete transfer.
2. Fertilization: Fusion of two entire gametes ( one male and another female) to form a zygote.
3. Post-fertilization: All the events that occur during sexual reproduction after the fusion of gametes are called post-fertilization events.
So, the correct answer is '(i)-(ii)- (iii)'.

Match column I with column II and select the correct options from the codes given.

Column I Column II
A. Hypothalamus (i) Sperm lysins
B. Acrosome (ii) Estrogen
C. Graafian follicle (iii) Relaxin
D. Leydig's cells (iv) GnRH
E. Parturition (v) Testosterone
  1. A - (iv), B - (i), C - (ii), D - (iii), E - (v)

  2. A - (ii), B - (i), C - (iv), D - (iii), E - (v)

  3. A - (ii), B - (i), C - (v), D - (iv), E - (iii)

  4. A - (iv), B - (i), C - (ii), D - (v), E - (iii)


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The hypothalamus is a small region of the brain. It's located at the base of the brain, near the pituitary gland. It secretes hypothalamic hormone such as the GnRH or Gonadotropin stimulating hormone which further has effects on the pituitary gland. The acrosome is the anterior covering on the head of the sperm that consists of enzymes called lysins that can lyse the ovum membrane to penetrate and fertilize it. A Graafian follicle is a developed tertiary follicle and is responsible for the ovulation that occurs as a result of the surge in FSH and LH levels responsible for estrogen production. Leydig cells in the seminiferous tubules are responsible for the secretion of androgens such as testosterone. Parturition is the process of the delivery of the fetus and during this process, Relaxin is a hormone produced by the ovary and the placenta with important effects in the female reproductive system and during pregnancy. 

So, the correct option is 'A - (iv), B - (i), C - (ii), D - (v), E - (iii)'.

Match column I (terms) with column II (definitions) and select the correct options from the codes given.

Column I Column II
A. Parturition (i) Attachment of embryo to endometrium
B. Gestation (ii) Release of egg from Graafian follicle
C. Ovulation (iii) Delivery of baby from uterus
D. Implantation (iv) Duration between pregnancy and birth
E. Conception (v) Formation of zygote by fusion of the egg and sperm
(vi) Stoppage of ovulation and menstruation
  1. A - (ii), B - (iv), C - (i), D - (v), E - (vi)

  2. A - (iv), B - (iii), C - (i), D - (v), E - (ii)

  3. A - (v), B - (vi), C - (ii), D - (iii), E - (iv)

  4. A - (iii), B - (iv), C - (ii), D - (i), E - (v)


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Parturition is the delivery or childbirth of baby from the uterus. Gestation is the period of development during the carrying of an embryo or fetus inside viviparous animals and the duration between pregnancy and birth. Ovulation is the process of release of the ovum from the Graafian follicle as it ruptures. Implantation is the process of attachment of the zygote to the endometrial lining of the uterus. Conception refers to the post-fertilization fusion of the egg and sperm into the zygote.

So, the correct option is 'A - (iii), B - (iv), C - (ii), D - (i), E - (v)'.
